Pele and Platini in firing line as Diego lets rip

ARGENTINA coach Diego Maradona took a swipe at fellow legends Pele and Michel Platini and also criticised the World Cup matchball during another no-holds-barred press conference in South Africa yesterday.

Speaking ahead of today’s Group B encounter between his side and South Korea in Johannesburg, Maradona said Pele should “go back to the museum” and claimed UEFA president Platini thinks he “is better than all the rest”.

Maradona also suggested both former superstars should go and try out the much-maligned adidas Jabulani matchball for themselves to see if it is good or bad.
